Before you switch from Alex P Syrup to another medicine, here are some important points to keep in mind:

Alex P Syrup is used in the treatment of Common cold and Allergies. The detailed uses of Alex P Syrup are as follows:
Alex P Syrup contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine hydrochloride, Chlorpheniramine maleate, Sodium citrate, and menthol used to treat symptoms of the common cold and allergies.

Phenylephrine hydrochloride is a decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thus, provides relief from congestion and decreases mucus production. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an anti-allergic drug that blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thus, helps to cough out easily.
